Village Head's Debauchery
chapter-631

"Okay, I'll consider it. But why does it feel like you have other ideas apart from me teaching my apostles how to use their abilities properly?" Aerialia responded, her eyes narrowing at Orion.

"I don't think I need a reason to worry about protecting my children. Also, considering that my village is involved in protecting the Prismerion race, I don't think it's unreasonable for me to want to see them grow in the future so that they don't become a burden later on," Orion responded.

However, he exhaled inwardly, listening to how Aerialia addressed the Crystalforge clan warriors.

Hearing Orion's words, Aerialia understood that his reasons were understandable. However, she still didn't fully believe Orion would ask such a question without any other intentions.

"Are you sure? If you have anything, say it before I change my mind," Aerialia asked with a raised brow.

Seeing that he had been caught, Orion exhaled tiredly.

Still, he cleared his throat, "I hope you can also teach me how to utilise the Celestial energy," Orion said.

"I knew it," Aerialia said, snorting in response.

"Although I have no problems teaching you how to control and utilise the Celestial energy, since the stronger you are, the safer you will become, and the more time that I get to live until I find a way to break this bond, considering the kind of energy that you use, I'm not sure if that would be a good idea," Aerialia said.

"Why not?" Orion said with a raised brow, trying his best to understand what Aerialia was trying to say.

"Yes, you see, although it is true that races with stronger energies can utilise weaker energies more easily than those with weaker energies trying to learn stronger ones, that doesn't mean it is without its effects," Aerialia replied.

"What kind of effects?" Orion asked with a frown on his face.

Was it that complicated to learn to utilise a different kind of energy?

"If a person capable of utilising a strong energy learns to utilise a much weaker energy, then there is a 100 per cent chance that the weaker energy becomes influenced by the stronger energy and will significantly cause it to go through some changes. The same can be said for the reverse. This is just a natural side effect, so it isn't something to be worried about. However, I can't say the same for you," Aerialia explained.

"Considering that you can utilise the Vylkr energy, a high-ranked energy that is somehow as powerful as the divine energy, I am unsure about how the qualities of the Vylkr energy would affect those of the Celestial energy. Whether it will be something bad or good is something I am not sure about, so we will have to approach this matter with caution."

Orion's frown deepened.

Besides the Vylkr energy, he was also aware of another energy inside him and every other villager, an energy Aerialia wasn't yet aware of—the strange force he used to activate his gift.

He couldn't help but wonder if this strange energy had been altered by the Vylkr energy, rendering it unrecognisable.

No, Orion shook the thought out of his head.

As far as he knew, those incapable of utilising Vylkr's energy due to a lack of potential were far more numerous than the warriors who could. Yet, both groups possessed the same strange energy. This suggested that the change wasn't brought about by the Vylkr energy but by something else. However, he knew that no one in the village was aware of this, and he understood he had a higher chance of finding out the truth from none other than Naka himself.

"I suggest giving it a try first and then seeing how it goes from there," Orion suggested.

Regardless, he wasn't willing to forgo an opportunity to become stronger entirely.

Aerialia pondered for a moment at Orion's words, "We can try; however, I need you to make one promise first," Aerialia said as she stared at Orion seriously.

"What kind of promise?" Orion asked.

"If anything significantly bad happens while you are trying to utilise the Celestial energy, then you will immediately stop trying to learn how to use it or think about learning to control and utilise any other energy," Aerialia responded seriously.

Orion's expression immediately became thoughtful because, no matter how doubtful he was, he was at least hopeful that learning another kind of energy wouldn't cause any significant harm to his body with the presence of the Vylkr energy.

"Something like this has the potential to extremely damage your body, which, in turn, affects me due to the bond binding the two of us together, so I'll need to make it clear before something like that happens," Aerialia said, staring at Orion with a tinge of seriousness in her eyes.

Although she knew Orion was intelligent enough to make the right decision at the right time, she also understood how reckless he could be, especially from the careless stunt he had just attempted to sever the bond between them. So, she needed to make it clear now, or else she felt that she might regret it if he suddenly decided to behave recklessly again.

Orion nodded in response.

"Okay, there's nothing to worry about. If something like that ever happens, I will never try to learn how to utilise another energy and will only focus on the Vylkr energy I possess," Orion replied seriously.

He had a six-star potential for inner strength, so even if trying to utilise another kind of energy didn't work out as planned, he could concentrate on consuming more Vylkr vines until he could create another container.

Aerialia nodded her head in satisfaction.

"Do you have any other questions?" Aerialia asked.

"No, I don't have questions for now. But I'll let you know when I have one later," Orion replied.

Aerialia snorted loudly in response to his words.

It was the first time someone had treated her merely as a source of information, but she could only blame her circumstances for such a situation.

Orion shifted his attention towards the Princess of the Garden, who had remained silent throughout their conversation. She listened and observed curiously.
